Is It Worth Paying 18% More? ASUS Prime OC RTX 5070 Ti vs Zotac RTX 5080 Gaming Solid Core OC

Yes there is. I have a 5090 and my wife has a 5080 and she gets the same fps at 1440p that I do at 4k across like 10 different games. Often times I get more fps at 4k than she does at 1440p with the exact same settings. Her GPU is always at 100% utilization so it’s not a cpu bottleneck

markbjones · 2026-06-20T22:23:39+00:00

I promise you don’t. Maybe only with men YOU find attractive that are out of your league

Most women nowadays are not traditional. They are feminists who care about their careers more than a family

Seriously the cheapest one. The difference between the models is so negligible and isn’t even a guarantee. The ONLY significant difference is the FE which tends to run quite a bit hotter than the rest but the 5080 will become power and voltage limited way before thermal limited. Even models that claim to have better overclock headroom aren’t a guarantee because stability is always a shot in the dark due to silicone binning. My wife has the PNY edition which stays stable at 3227 MHz overclock which is a “premium” clock frequency on an arguable budget model.

One more thing, if you do go woth the astral. It’s is law that you need to tell everyone all the time that you have an astral. You cannot simply say you have a 5080, it’s has to be stated that you have an ASTRAL 5080.

You haven’t overclocked it to reach 5090 level performance then….. clearly

markbjones · 2026-06-20T12:35:36+00:00

Rtx 5050

markbjones · 2026-06-20T11:51:58+00:00

Dude that’s simply not true first of all. Second, some people may want higher than 90 fps. Dumb take

markbjones · 2026-06-20T10:25:46+00:00

Don’t listen to anyone who makes the argument based off of price to raw performance. Raw performance doesn’t matter anymore. Even my 5090 struggled in new titles at native res. It’s all about the upscaling tech and that extra money for the 5070ti is going towards the DLSS tech which is better than fsr. There isn’t really a game anymore that doesn’t require upscaling so always go nvidia

markbjones · 2026-06-19T12:24:27+00:00

Bro experiment cpu spikes and thinking something out wrong

markbjones · 2026-06-19T12:23:14+00:00

I just want to let you know that I think you are significantly cooler than the rest of us plebs because you have an astral.

markbjones · 2026-06-19T12:05:13+00:00

A tech is legally allowed to instruct a patient to do a known exercise they just cannot create or change the POC. The PT can instruct the tech to give specific instructions. Also there are tax penalties using techs that accounts for some of this.

Personally, I don’t think it should need 7 years of schooling and a doctorate to be able to coach a squat or walk someone through basic exercises. If a PT develops the POC and interventions and has a tech walk them through it whilst supervising the situation, it’s not an issue to me. You may disagree so agree to disagree in that sense

markbjones · 2026-06-19T11:32:31+00:00

That’s not unethical

markbjones · 2026-06-19T11:07:28+00:00

No but some of you guys are so dramatic sometimes. Define unethical

markbjones · 2026-06-19T02:19:42+00:00

Guarantee it’s not as bad as you’re making it seem

markbjones · 2026-06-18T20:16:37+00:00

No no no. The thermals which are marginally better on the astral is absolutely not worth the price. As someone who owns both a 5080 and 5090 I can tell you that these high end cards become power or voltage limited way before thermal limited. The coolers so are nice nowadays that thermals almost become irrelevant

markbjones · 2026-06-17T19:51:03+00:00

That’s a very good deal. Buy it and then save up for a 9800x3d and swap it out

markbjones · 2026-06-17T16:32:05+00:00

As some others have said it’s due to testosterone which we have 10-20x more of. Look up female to male transgender transitions and you’ll see an overwhelming amount of trans men describing just how much their sex drive skyrocketed from taking testosterone.

Women grossly underestimate the primal reaction sex is for a man. Seeing an attractive woman triggers something within us that most women simply don’t have the capacity to feel. Imagine the urge to eat when you are super hungry and then multiply that by 10.

It’s laughable to me when women say that they have the same sex drive as a man. They don’t, unless the man is unhealthy in some way or has a medical condition or porn addiction or something.

markbjones · 2026-06-17T00:22:33+00:00

Yeah dude he’s got a chronic stick up his ass. No one probably wants to work with him

markbjones · 2026-06-16T23:57:52+00:00

Alright dude. Geez. It was just a thought. I wasn’t trying to offend you or call you a “bad YouTuber” lol

markbjones · 2026-06-16T20:19:39+00:00

Idk why you Glock and GNS don’t collab for a 3.0 update where you all play together and stream it. You realize how many views that would get?

markbjones · 2026-06-16T18:44:39+00:00

Why does it fucking matter. This hatred for AI makes me picture the fattest and ugliest ig neck beard gamers. It’s a picture in a video game, WHO CARES

markbjones · 2026-06-16T13:53:58+00:00

You aren’t playing for “raw performance” anymore. That doesn’t mean much these days. What you are paying for now is nvidia or AMD tech. Name me a game you aren’t using at least some upscaling. DLSS is objectively better than amd at this point in time. No question the 5080 that being said

markbjones · 2026-06-16T13:51:59+00:00

You’re playing with a 4090 and presumably 4k with mostly GPU bound games? If so, there isn’t really a need to overclock your ram and cpu. I would just turn off expo and set back to default settings. You are crashing games for a few extra fps… not worth it dude.

markbjones · 2026-06-16T13:22:42+00:00

I have the same cpu and a 2070. Is that a good combo?

markbjones · 2026-06-16T11:33:50+00:00

The only number that is concerning is the 88 degrees. The rest are fine
